Gerry Wayne Monroe Has Died, But His Desire for Sheila Jackson Lee for Mayor to Be Defeated Lives

“5-STAR.”

GERRY WAYNE MONROE

“PUBLISHER’S MESSAGE”

AUBREY R TAYLOR REPORTS

A concerted effort must be placed on ridding Houston, Texas of corruption, crime, cronyism, and the bid-rigging that has been happening in city and county government for several decades

ASheila Jackson Lee and her “POLITICAL MACHINE” that’s being fueled by influential African Americans elected officials like Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis and City of Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner are already hard at work in the development of their Tuesday, November 7, 2023, Mayor Election slate That being said, the time has come for “GOOD HOUSTONIANS” to come together against these corrupt, evil, and “BAD FOR HOUSTON” politicians who have conspired together to nearly bankrupt our city, and make it the death capital of America in the process Republicans are not the oppressors of Black people in America Corrupt “do-nothing’ career politicians like Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Commissioner Rodney Ellis, and “dirty a$$” Mayor Sylvester Turner are the real oppressors of Black people, and their policies are deadly, divisive, and destructive if you ask me

As a nation, we don’t need any studies on reparations We already know the horrors of slavery But negroes like Sheila, Rodney, and Sylvester are going to try and lure Black folks by dangling a California-styled reparations idea in front of uninformed registered Black voters between now and November

The City of Houston is headed toward a fiscal cliff – in case you haven’t heard Have you heard? Huh?

So, how in the world could the city of Houston ever be able to give every eligible Black adult $1 million, $2 million, $3 million, or $4 million, let alone the $5 million that is being proposed in San Francisco, California, for reparations? This is asinine? And the numbers won't work And on top of that, the city couldn't foot the bill, and non-Black families would never agree to pay $600,000 00 each, to make the $5 million per eligible Black adult reparations deal like they're exploring in San Francisco, work here in Houston, Texas anyways

Please join me in “PUTTING PEOPLE OVER P O L I T I C S ” on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, in the General Election 281 788 3033

PASTOR WILLIE DAVIS is a candidate we are strongly considering in the race for Houston City Council At-Large Position #2 on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, in the General Election If you know of any reason why we should not endorse him, call (281)788-3033

PASTOR ERICKA McCRUTCHEON is a candidate we are strongly considering in the race for Houston City Council At-Large Position #3 on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, in the General Election If you know of any reason why we should not endorse her, call (281)788-3033

In the words of Frederick Douglas, “Power concedes nothing without a demand It never did and it never will Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Gilbert Garcia and Eric Carr ’s Affordable Housing Partnership Was Underway

Long Before Gilbert Garcia Decided to Run for Mayor

reer politicians take? I don’t know about you, but as for me, I can spot manufactured goodwill from a mile away That being said, I can also spot a genuine deal when I see one

For the record, I’ve been watching former prizefighter Eric Carr, and owner of E&E Construction for many years He first came on my radar several years ago when I saw a report that aired on FOX 26, titled, “Angel in a hard hat a blessing for the collapsed church ” The first thing I thought was, who are they talking about?

“Angels don’t always come with wings – sometimes they wear hard hats,” said Fox 26 News Reporter, John Donnelly, in his opening paragraph “I don’t go to church here, but I believe in what Pastor Boudreaux is talking about,” explained Eric Carr

Eric Carr went on to say, “I believe he’s a straight guy, a fair guy and I think he’s for the people ”

“He’s giving us mercy said, Pastor Johnny Boudreaux, speaking of businessman Eric Carr You see, Carr, was answering a call to service, as he’s been doing for many years

Long story short, Eric Carr, back in 2016, Pastor Boudreaux had just left the church when disaster struck The devil is always busy – isn’t he? Anyways, the roof to the main worship center of the Truth Faith Missionary Baptist worship center caved in, leaving Pastor Boudreaux bewildered

FORMER PRIZEFIGHTER TURNED BUSINESSMAN ERIC CARR listens to instructions from his partner Gilbert Andrew Garcia, the owner of GH&A Affordable Homes

ERIC CARR is the owner of E&E Construction Inc and Gilbert Garcia is the owner of GH&A Affordable Homes Gilbert Garcia is also a candidate running for Mayor of Houston Texas

According to the FOX 26 report, “The pastor says he had paid the insurance premiums, but also says the insurance company didn’t want to pay up until they investigated ” Pastor Boudreaux explained, “They couldn’t believe it was so unprofessionally structured, lasting just 24-to-25 years ”

“CARR STEPS IN.”

After not receiving much money from the insurance company, Pastor Boudreaux was at his wit's end However, with the little money given by the insurance company, and a handful of donors, he was ready to have the old structure demolished

Thanks to Eric Carr, doing the demolition for less than half the price some others were estimating, the job got done Yep Eric Carr did all of the work for a fraction of the price “I just want to help,” says Carr

“FAST FORWARD.”

After the sudden passing of his beloved mother, Gwendolyn Carr, back on March 22, 2023, Eric Carr, paused things for a moment, but he’s hitting full stride now “Eric, you make sure you make a lot of money because you like to run things,” he fondly remembers his mother telling way back when he was 14 years old “I think that’s what inspired me to go to work at Kroger,” he says

Well, as God would have it, Gwendolyn lived long enough to witness her son mature into a highly successful businessman after a rocket start, and a few hiccups along the way

“MAYOR KEVIN COLE. ”

A PASSION FOR LOCAL POLITICS

KKevin’s passion for being involved in the local politics started in 1992 Kevin was appointed to the City of Pearland Planning & Zoning Commission in 1994

Kevin then ran for City Council in 1995 and was successful He served a single term to 1998 Kevin will tell you his biggest accomplishment while on Council was being a part of a Council that secured long-term water rights for the City

Kevin made the decision to run for City Council again in 2004 and was elected He served 2 terms ending in May 2010 Kevin had several major accomplishments during this time

Cowart s Creek diversion project was an item he ran on and was able to make it a part of the 2007 bond program Today, it is complete and will help a large area of the City’s drainage

The Lower Kirby area has developed because the Council made the decision to focus on a market-based approach to the area Kevin was able to utilize the skills as a real estate developer and help lead the Council to perform a market analysis followed by a market-based land plan This led to rezoning the area based on the market and the Lower Kirby area finally took off The City had become the de facto developer in that area by putting in the infrastructure but the zoning really was difficult to deal with So the City needed to act like a developer in performing this

The City was successful in the 2007 bond program election This was the largest program in the City s history and covered roads, drainage, fire stations, parks, and the natatorium/rec center When the real estate economy collapsed in Sept 2008, parts of the bond program were able to be implemented quicker Several roads were moved up to take advantage of better pricing

He was elected Mayor of Pearland on November 3 2020

“CINDY SIEGEL.”

“I’m very proud of what Cindy Siegel, the chairman of the Harris County Republican Party accomplished back during the 2022 Midterm Election, and believe that she should be reelected on “SUPER TUESDAY” in the Harris County Republican Party Primary.” - AUBREY R. TAYLOR, publisher/investigative reporter.

WHAT DOES FREEDOM AND LIBERTY MEAN?: “They are two of the most beautiful words in the dictionary. It means that I have the personal freedom to make decisions on how I am going to live my life. They mean that I and my daughters have the opportunity to make our lives into whatever we want with hard work. However, along with freedom and liberty goes personal responsibility. That means working to ensure that we continue to have freedom and liberty now and for future generations because without America standing for freedom and liberty - where do people go?” Cindy

The Harris County Republican Party is an inclusive and diverse group of dedicated volunteers who believe in the conservative values our country was founded upon. We love our country, believe in the Bill of Rights, support the U.S. Constitution and stand for our Flag. We believe that all men, women and children are created equal. It was the leadership of the Republican Party that ended slavery over 150 years ago. The Republican Party continues to be the party of hope and opportunity because we stand for freedom and liberty for all Americans.

We believe in:

Freedom from an overreaching government

Unelected bureaucrats and our federal government should not overregulate and dictate how we live our daily lives We believe that prosperity for all comes through the free market and policies that encourage job development, economic growth and entrepreneurship in the United States vs promoting a global economy that sacrifices American jobs and national security

Freedom from those who want to weaken the sanctity of our elections.

We believe that all Americans should have confidence in the integrity of our elections and that each vote cast is cast by a citizen who has the legal right to vote Without elections that are fair, open and transparent, the very foundation of our democracy is at risk

Freedom from crime.

The rights of criminals do not trump the rights of the law-abiding citizen Activist judges and defunding police tears down the laws that are there to protect the rights of the individual and prevent mob rule All Americans deserve to live their lives and raise their families in neighborhoods that are free from crime

Freedom from failing schools.

Our children should have the right to an education that will give them the knowledge and skills to have a successful life and one that is free from indoctrination We believe that teaching our country’s history (warts and all) is necessary to ensure mistakes are not repeated We also oppose teachers and administration that impose their personal beliefs on our children and promote racism and division through policies like critical race theory We believe that school policies should support educational achievement and provide parents the freedom to make the best academic choice for their children

Freedom from democrats who want to limit our freedoms.
